I'm not sure I understand. You can't run a project in VS2005 that won't
build. But you can rebuild all the components and run it in debug mode and
stop in the middle. You can add multiple projects to any solution, and
debug across the solution. It's much more robust than VB6 was, although the
Edit And Continue isn't quite as easy -- sometimes you can't edit and
continue, depending on the code involved.
I assume you're moving to vS2005 adn not VS2003. I don't think VS2003
supports edit&continue at all.
